Ammonia in Baking Powders.
From the Scientific American

Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry. none is more im-
DOrta than the uses TO which common
ammonia can be pr, perry put rs leav-
ening agent and which Indicate that
this familiar salt is hereafter TO perform
an active part in the preparation OF our
daily food.
The carbonate OF ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon knife and hold
over flame, and il will almost i'm.
mediately be entirely developed into gas
and pass of into the air. The gas thus
formed is simple composition OF nitro
gen and hydrogen. No residue is left
from the ammonia. This gives it its
superiority AS a leavening power over
soda and cream of tartar used alone, and
has induced its use as supplement to
these articles. A small quantity Of
ammonia in the dough Is effective in
producing bread that will be lighter,
sweeter and more wholesome than that
risen by any other leaveniDg agent.
When 1t is acted upon by the
heat of baking, the leavening
gas that raises the dough is liberated
In this act il uses itself up, as it were;
the ammonia is entirely ditfused, leav-
ing no trace or residuum whatever. The
light, fluffy, flaky appearance, so desira-
BILE in biscuits, etc, and so sought after
by professional cooks, is said TO be I'M
parted to them only by the use of this
agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves Of
this useful discovery, and the handeOm-
est and best bread and cake are how
largely risen by the aid of ammonia
combined, Of course, with other leaVen-
ing material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. If, as Seems
to be justly claimed for it, the applica-
ton of its properties to the purposes of
cooking, results In giving us lighter and
more wholesome bread, biscuit and
cake, it will prove a boon to dyspeptiC
humanity, and will speedily force itself
into general use in the new field to
which science has assigned ii.

MONDAY, APRIL II, 1887.
THE RELIEF MOVEMENT.

The work OF relief. so long urged upon
San Antonio as duty, has at last been
undertaken. The citizens meeting, held
at the court house on Saturday night,
put the work OF this relief into the hands
OF committee OF five, giving them am
pie power for the prosecution of their
work. The region OF greatest distress,
lying to the south and west Of us, 1t was
deemed wisest and best to confine the
WORK OF relief to those sections OF the
state. Correspondence will be immedi-
ately opened with county officials and
representative citizens in the region re-
ferred to, and an understanding arrived
at concerning the necessities OF each
section; also, how far state and local aid
has been granted and what is most nec-
essary to be done in order to make the
relief effeotual and direct. The commit
tee is as good one as could have been
selected. The gentlemen composing 1t
are all well known, and the confidence
OF the business men OF this city in their
responsibility. good judgment and eff
cheney will not be questioned. Upon
these men will devOlve very large
amount OF labor, and that Of q very I'M
desirable character. Their time, ener-
gies, and deepest consideration will be
drawn upon, not only for days, but for
weeks and months. A voluminous cor
respondence must be carried on, and
constant watchcare exercised over the
minutest details OF their work,
which will tax their patience and
their understanding, and their sym
pathies, as perhaps they have
never before been taxed. 1t is not fair
to lay all these burdens upon these men
and leave them there. The material
means for carrying on this work of relief
must be given by the citizens oftbis city
and given freely, If this committee is to
accomplish the work for which it was
created. Not less than $4,000 is needed
from this city TO carry out the measures
Of relief In any adequate way. The more
spontaneously this Is given the more en-
couragingly and hopefully will this COM
mittee be enabled to enter upon its
work. The less time and energy con-
sumed in collecting this money, the
more free will their hands be left for
the onerous work of Its disbursement.
This money should come without So
licitation by personal appesls. Upon
the presentation Of facts by circular, the
business men Of this city should come
forward with their contributions, of
money or supplies, and not force the
committee to send q special agent to
each one, thus entailing upon them an
additional service and thankless one.
The citizens Of this city should feel that
this work Of relief is theirs, that this
committee is only their agent for carry
ing out their benevolent designs, and
the most prompt and cheerful response
should be given to their calls for the
material supplies demanded In carrying
out the work assigned them.
